Nayara Springs

I've been to Costa Rica many times and the service has always been exceptional everywhere, as Ticos are genuinely kind people, but the service at Nayara Springs was exceptional. From the intimate check in process that makes you feel like you are the only person checking in that day, to the designated concierge that we could text at anytime to make reservations and schedule activities, the personalized service was spot on. It was a relief that the restaurants on site were very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions.

Spectacular! I am so happy that I got to stay here. What a location. What a backdrop. The staff is very engaging and friendly. So many animals right there on property period from sloths to birds. Close to the hanging bridges only about 15 minutes from Fortuna. The villa was very spacious and it was very nice to have a private pool/spa. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this property from everything from location to luxury and service.

This place was amazing. It was luxury in a jungle. We did 4 nights in Nayara Springs, but did our best to enjoy the property has a whole. The staff were so attentive to detail and remembered important things about us. For example, I have a pineapple allergy and the restaurant we had our breakfast at remembered every morning, even offering to prepare green juice specifically for me without pineapple if I wanted it for the days we were there. They also referenced the allergy at every restaurant we ate all, all of which were really good. Before booking, we couldn't find much information about the hot springs on the property and had been thinking about getting day passes to Tabacon, and were really glad we didn't. There are 5 hot springs in the tented camps section of the resort. They are not done up as much as the ones at Tabacon, but they are beautifully maintained, spacious, and surrounded by the jungle. PLUS you have your own plunge pool in your villa, which is so perfect. We also enjoyed a couples' spa treatment while we were there, and my husband liked it so much he went back for an additional treatment the next day. The front desk was so patient with all my questions and booked us an amazing night walk tour. On our last morning, the sky opened up and we had an amazing view of the volcano from our patio and breakfast. Also as we were leaving, our rental car battery died. The valet service and the mechanic worked with my husband to help us fix the car. Just top notch service!

My wife and I stayed at Nayara Springs. This property (Including Gardens and Tented Camp) is by far the best resort we have ever stayed at. The entire staff from our personal host, servers, housekeeping staff, bartenders, golf cart drivers are there for 24/7, and make everything happen so nicely. We stayed at Nayara Springs for 7 nights, and I'm so glad that we did. It gave us enough days/nights to do a few excursions offsite as well as enjoy every restaurant, bar, and pool on the Nayara property. For excursions in La Fortuna, I highly recommend the Mistico Hanging Bridges tour booked through Nayara. Also, the Coffee and Chocolate tour at Don Juan. All of the restaurants on the Nayara Properties are exceptional. Our favorites included the unique dining experience at Amor Loco (adults only), Mis Amores (adults only), Ayla (in Tented Camp), Asia Luna (in Gardens), and La Tarazza (in Gardens). I highly recommend the rum tasting, mixology, and cooking experiences hosted on site by the best staff. Also, we had the best time at Nostalgia Wine Bar (in Gardens) and Henry's Bar (reception area of Tented Camp). Last but not least, a very special thanks to our personal host, "Tati", Brian/Luis/Yarley at the Cielto Lindo pool bar, Harley/Julio at Nostalgia wine bar, Joshua and Chef Kenneth for our Cooking class, and Jose for our Rum Tasting and Mixology classes. Also, see Jose at Henry's Bar for the best drinks and hospitality.

What a great experience! Went for my wife’s birthday and she was treated like a queen at every bar and restaurant we went to. Our villa was beautiful with our own private pool (mineral water from the volcano), dual indoor and outdoor showers and fresh fruit every day. We loved the ‘Romantic Dinner’ for her birthday, with our own private server and chef, and enjoyed a 6 course dinner with a special wine paring with each course. You can tell that everyone working there, from the landscapers to the drivers to the servers to the housekeepers love their jobs. We’ll definitely be back soon!
